As I don't use POP I can't confirm that K-9 has the "keep on server"
option, but I assume it does. It's kind of kludge (that was added to
try to help with with multi-client viewing), but doesn't really
address the basic consistent client view (and folders) capabilities
that many people want at a minimum.

Also, "keep on server" isn't the same as "resyncing back to the
server". While the former is supported in the POP3 protocol, I don't
believe you'll find the latter there.
